Extensive deployment has been made in sensitive pockets and vantage locations across Mumbai. "The SMS warns Muslims of 'Qayamat' on the 15th day of Ramzan and directs them to remain indoors on that day. Post the SMS, security has been tightened across the city, specially in sensitive pockets," said an officer. "A similar message was spread before the 1992 riots and therefore we are not taking the SMS lightly," he added.
